Find the coordinate of the point where the line through (5, 1, 6) and (3, 4, 1) crosses the i. yz-plane ii. zx-plane.

A

`(0,17/2,13/2)`

B

`(0,-17/2,13/2)`

C

`(0,17/2,-13/2)`

D

`(0,-17/2,-13/2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Suppose yz-plane divides the line segment segment joining A and B in the ratio `lamda:1`. The coordinates of the point C of division are `((3lamda+5)/(lamda+1),(4lamda+1)/(lamda+1),(lamda+6)/(lamda+1))`.
The point on yz-plane
`:.(3lamda+5)/(lamda+1)=0implieslamda=-5/3`
Hence the coordinates o c are `(0,17/2,-13/2)`
